I.INTRODUCTION

A. RISK FACTORS

n Standard Risk Factors

l Investment in Mutual Fund Units involves investment riskssuch as trading volumes, settlement risk, liquidity risk,default risk including the possible loss of principal.

l As the price / value / interest rates of the securities in whichthe Plan(s) under the Scheme invests fluctuates, the valueof your investment in the Plan(s) under the Scheme maygo up or down depending on the various factors and forcesaffecting the capital markets and money markets.

l Past performance of the Sponsors and their affiliates /AMC / Mutual Fund does not guarantee future performanceof the Plan(s) under the Scheme of the Mutual Fund.

l The name of the Plan(s) under the Scheme does not in anymanner indicate either the quality of the Plan(s) under theScheme or its future prospects and returns.

l The Sponsors are not responsible or liable for any lossresulting from the operation of the Plan(s) under the Schemebeyond the initial contribution of Rs. 1 lakh each madeby them towards setting up the Fund.

l The present Plan(s) under the Scheme is not a guaranteedor assured return Plan(s) under the Scheme.

n Scheme Specific Risk Factors

Some of the specific risk factors related to the Plan(s) under theScheme include, but are not limited to the following:

Risk factors associated with investing in Fixed IncomeSecurities

l The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the respective Plan(s) underthe Scheme, to the extent invested in Debt and MoneyMarket instruments, will be affected by changes in thegeneral level of interest rates. The NAV of the respectivePlan(s) is expected to increase from a fall in interest rateswhile it would be adversely affected by an increase in thelevel of interest rates.

l Money market instruments, while fairly liquid, lack a welldeveloped secondary market, which may restrict the sellingability of the Plan(s) under the Scheme and may lead tothe Plan(s) under the Scheme incurring losses till the securityis finally sold.

l Investments in money market instruments involve credit riskcommensurate with short term rating of the issuers.

l Investment in Debt instruments are subject to varyingdegree of credit risk or default risk (i.e. the risk of an issuer'sinability to meet interest and principal payments on itsobligations) or any other issues, which may have their creditratings downgraded. Changes in financial conditions ofan issuer, changes in economic and political conditionsin general, or changes in economic and/ or politicalconditions specific to an issuer, all of which are factors thatmay have an adverse impact on an issuer's credit qualityand security values. This may increase the risk of theportfolio. The Investment Manager will endeavour to managecredit risk through in-house credit analysis.

l Government securities where a fixed return is offered runprice-risk like any other fixed income security. Generally,when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securitiesfall and when interest rates drop, the prices increase. Theextent of fall or rise in the prices is a function of the existingcoupon, days to maturity and the increase or decrease inthe level of interest rates. The new level of interest rate isdetermined by the rates at which government raises new

money and/or the price levels at which the market is alreadydealing in existing securities. The price-risk is not uniqueto Government Securities. It exists for all fixed incomesecurities. However, Government Securities are unique inthe sense that their credit risk generally remains zero.Therefore, their prices are influenced only by movement ininterest rates in the financial system.

l The AMC may, considering the overall level of risk of theportfolio, invest in lower rated / unrated securities offeringhigher yields as well as zero coupon securities that offerattractive yields. This may increase the absolute level of riskof the portfolio.

l As zero coupon securities do not provide periodic interestpayments to the holder of the security, these securities aremore sensitive to changes in interest rates and are subjectto issuer default risk. Therefore, the interest rate risk of zerocoupon securities is higher. The AMC may choose to investin zero coupon securities that offer attractive yields. Thismay increase the risk of the portfolio. Zero coupon or deepdiscount bonds are debt obligations that do not entitle theholder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturityor a specified date when the securities begin paying currentinterest and therefore, are generally issued and traded ata discount to their face values. The discount depends onthe time remaining until maturity or the date when securitiesbegin paying current interest. It also varies depending onthe prevailing interest rates, liquidity of the security and theperceived credit risk of the Issuer. The market prices of zerocoupon securities are generally more volatile than themarket prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

l Prepayment Risk: Certain fixed income securities give anissuer the right to call back its securities before their maturitydate, in periods of declining interest rates. The possibilityof such prepayment may force the Plan(s) under the Schemeto reinvest the proceeds of such investments in securitiesoffering lower yields, resulting in lower interest income forthe fund.

l Reinvestment Risk: This risk refers to the interest rate levelsat which cash flows received from the securities in the Plan(s)under the Scheme are reinvested. The additional incomefrom reinvestment is the "interest on interest" component.The risk is that the rate at which interim cash flows canbe reinvested may be lower than that originally assumed.

l Settlement Risk: Different segments of Indian financialmarkets have different settlement periods and such periodsmay be extended significantly by unforeseen circumstances.Delays or other problems in settlement of transactionscould result in temporary periods when the assets of thePlan(s) under the Scheme are uninvested and no return isearned thereon. The inability of the Plan(s) under theScheme to make intended securities purchases, due tosettlement problems, could cause the Plan(s) under theScheme to miss certain investment opportunities. Similarly,the inability to sell securities held in the Plan(s) under theScheme portfolio, due to the absence of a well developedand liquid secondary market for debt securities, may resultat times in potential losses to the Plan(s) under the Schemein the event of a subsequent decline in the value of securitiesheld in the Plan(s) under the Scheme portfolio.

Risk factors associated with investing in Foreign DebtSecurities

l Currency Risk

Moving from Indian Rupee (INR) to any other currency entailscurrency risk. To the extent that the assets of the Plan(s) under


the Scheme will be invested in securities denominated inforeign currencies, the Indian Rupee equivalent of the netassets, distributions and income may be adversely affectedby changes in the value of certain foreign currencies relativeto the Indian Rupee.

l Interest Rate Risk

The pace and movement of interest rate cycles of variouscountries, though loosely co-related, can differ significantly.Hence by investing in securities of countries other thanIndia, the Plan(s) under the Scheme stand exposed to theirinterest rate cycles.

l Credit Risk

Investment in Foreign Debt Securities are subject to the riskof an issuer's inability to meet interest and principal paymentson its obligations and market perception of thecreditworthiness of the issuer. This is substantially reducedsince the SEBI (MF) Regulations stipulate investments onlyin debt instruments with rating not below investment gradeby accredited/registered credit rating agency.

l Taxation Risk:

In addition to the disclosure related to taxation mentionedunder section “Special Consideration” on Page 10,Investment in Foreign Securities poses additional challengesbased on the tax laws of each respective country orjurisdiction. The Plan(s) under the Scheme may be subjectto a higher level of taxes than originally anticipated andor dual taxation. The Plan(s) under the Scheme may besubject to withholding or other taxes on income and/orgains arising from its investment portfolio. Further, suchinvestments are exposed to risks associated with thechanging/ evolving tax / regulatory regimes of all thecountries where the Plan(s) under the Scheme invests. Allthese may entail a higher outgo to the Plan(s) under theScheme by way of taxes, transaction costs, fees etc. thusadversely impacting its NAV & resulting in lowerreturns to an Investor.

l Legal and Regulatory Risk:

Legal and regulatory changes could occur during the termof the Plan(s) under the Scheme which may adversely affectit. If any of the laws and regulations currently in effectshould change or any new laws or regulations should beenacted, the legal requirements to which the Plan(s) underthe Scheme and the investors may be subject could differmaterially from current requirements and may materiallyand adversely affect the Scheme and the investors. Legislation/Regulatory guidelines could also be imposed retrospectively.

l Country Risk:

The Country risk arises from the inability of a country, tomeet its financial obligations. It is the risk encompassingeconomic, social and political conditions in a foreigncountry, which might adversely affect foreign investors'financial interests. In addition, country risks would includeevents such as introduction of extraordinary exchangecontrols, economic deterioration, bi-lateral conflict leadingto immobilisation of the overseas financial assets and theprevalent tax laws of the respective jurisdiction for executionof trades or otherwise.

l To manage risks associated with foreign currency andinterest rate exposure, the Mutual Fund may use derivativesfor efficient portfolio management including hedging andin accordance with conditions as may be stipulated by SEBI/RBI from time to time.

Risk factors associated with investing in Derivatives

l The AMC, on behalf of the respective Plan(s) under theScheme may use various derivative products, from time totime, in an attempt to protect the value of the portfolio andenhance Unit holders' interest. Derivative products arespecialized instruments that require investment techniquesand risk analysis different from those associated with stocksand bonds. The use of a derivative requires an understandingnot only of the underlying instrument but of the derivativeitself. Other risks include, the risk of mispricing or impropervaluation and the inability of derivatives to correlate perfectlywith underlying assets, rates and indices.

l Derivative products are leveraged instruments and canprovide disproportionate gains as well as disproportionatelosses to the investor. Execution of such strategies dependsupon the ability of the fund manager to identify suchopportunities. Identification and execution of the strategiesto be pursued by the fund manager involve uncertainty anddecision of fund manager may not always be profitable.No assurance can be given that the fund manager will beable to identify or execute such strategies.

l The risks associated with the use of derivatives are differentfrom or possibly greater than, the risks associated withinvesting directly in securities and other traditionalinvestments.

l Credit Risk: The credit risk in derivative transaction is therisk that the counter party will default on its obligationsand is generally low, as there is no exchange of principalamounts in a derivative transaction.

l Illiquidity risk: This is the risk that a derivative cannot besold or purchased quickly enough at a fair price, due tolack of liquidity in the market

Risk factors associated with investing in Securitised Debt

The Risks involved in Securitised Papers described below are theprincipal ones and does not represent that the statement of risksset out hereunder is exhaustive.

l Limited Liquidity & Price Risk

There is no assurance that a deep secondary market willdevelop for the Certificates. This could limit the ability ofthe investor to resell them.

l Limited Recourse, Delinquency and Credit Risk

The Credit Enhancement stipulated represents a limitedloss cover to the Investors. These Certificates represent anundivided beneficial interest in the underlying receivablesand do not represent an obligation of either the Issuer orthe Seller or the originator, or the parent or any affiliateof the Seller, Issuer and Originator. No financial recourseis available to the Certificate Holders against the Investors'Representative. Delinquencies and credit losses may causedepletion of the amount available under the CreditEnhancement and thereby the Investor Payouts to theCertificate Holders may get affected if the amount availablein the Credit Enhancement facility is not enough to coverthe shortfall. On persistent default of a Obligor to repayhis obligation, the Servicer may repossess and sell theAsset. However many factors may affect, delay or preventthe repossession of such Asset or the length of time requiredto realise the sale proceeds on such sales. In addition, theprice at which such Asset may be sold may be lower thanthe amount due from that Obligor.

l Risks due to possible prepayments and ChargeOffs

In the event of prepayments, investors may be exposed to


changes in tenor and yield. Also, any Charge Offs wouldresult in the reduction in the tenor of the Pass ThroughCertificates (PTCs).

l Bankruptcy of the Swap Bank

If the Swap Bank, becomes subject to bankruptcyproceedings then an Investor could experience losses ordelays in the payments due under the Interest Rate SwapAgreement.

l Risk of Co-mingling

With respect to the Certificates, the Servicer will deposit allpayments received from the Obligors into the CollectionAccount. However, there could be a time gap betweencollection by a Servicer and depositing the same into theCollection account especially considering that some of thecollections may be in the form of cash. In this interimperiod, collections from the Loan Agreements may not besegregated from other funds of originator. If originator inits capacity as Servicer fails to remit such funds due toInvestors, the Investors may be exposed to a potential loss.

Risk factors associated with Securities Lending

As with other modes of extensions of credit, there are risks inherentto securities lending, including the risk of failure of the other party,in this case the approved intermediary, to comply with the termsof the agreement entered into between the lender of securities i.e.the Scheme and the approved intermediary. Such failure can resultin the possible loss of rights to the collateral put up by theborrower of the securities, the inability of the approvedintermediary to return the securities deposited by the lender andthe possible loss of any corporate benefits accruing to the lenderfrom the securities deposited with the approved intermediary.

Risk factors associated with processing of transactionthrough Stock Exchange Mechanism

The trading mechanism introduced by the stock exchange(s) isconfigured to accept and process transactions for mutual fund unitsin both Physical and Demat Form. The allotment and/or redemptionof Units through NSE and/or BSE or any other recognised stockexchange(s), on any Business Day will depend upon the modalitiesof processing viz. collection of application form, order processing/settlement, etc. upon which the Fund has no control. Moreover,transactions conducted through the stock exchange mechanismshall be governed by the operating guidelines and directives issuedby respective recognized stock exchange(s).

Risk Factors associated with Market Trading

l Although Units of the respective Plan(s) as mentioned inthis Scheme Information Document are to be listed on theExchange(s), there can be no assurance that an activesecondary market will develop or be maintained.

l Trading in Units of the respective Plan(s) on the Exchange(s)may be halted because of market conditions or for reasonsthat in view of Exchange Authorities or SEBI, trading in Unitsof the respective Plan(s) is not advisable. In addition,trading in Units of the Scheme is subject to trading haltscaused by extraordinary market volatility and pursuant toExchange and SEBI 'circuit filter' rules. There can be noassurance that the requirements of Exchange necessary tomaintain the listing of Units of the respective Plan(s) willcontinue to be met or will remain unchanged.

l Any changes in trading regulations by the Stock Exchange(s)or SEBI may inter-alia result in wider premium/ discountto NAV.

l The Units of the respective Plan(s) may trade above or belowtheir NAV. The NAV of the respective Plan(s) will fluctuatewith changes in the market value of Plan's holdings. The

trading prices of Units of the respective Plan(s) will fluctuatein accordance with changes in their NAV as well as marketsupply and demand for the Units of the respective Plan(s).

l The Units will be issued in demat form through depositories.The records of the depository are final with respect to thenumber of Units available to the credit of Unit holder.Settlement of trades, repurchase of Units by the MutualFund on the maturity date / final redemption date willdepend upon the confirmations to be received fromdepository(ies) on which the Mutual Fund has no control.

l As the Units allotted under respective Plan(s) of the Schemewill be listed on the Exchange(s), the Mutual Fund shallnot provide for redemption / repurchase of Units prior tomaturity / final redemption date of the respective Plan(s).

Risk factors associated with close-ended schemesRisk factors associated with close-ended schemesRisk factors associated with close-ended schemesRisk factors associated with close-ended schemesRisk factors associated with close-ended schemes

• A close-ended scheme endeavors to achieve the desiredreturns only at the scheduled maturity of the Plan(s) underthe Scheme. Investors who wish to exit/redeem before thescheduled maturity date may do so through the stockexchange mode. For the Units listed on the exchange, it ispossible that the market price at which the Units are tradedmay be at a discount to the NAV of such Units. Hence, Unitholders who sell their Units in a Plan(s) under the Schemeprior to maturity may not get the desired returns. Moreover,given the nature of the Scheme, the AMC may be requiredto liquidate the equity portfolio and the proceeds may bekept in cash and invested largely in cash equivalents/moneymarket instruments towards the Maturity/Final Redemptiondate and to that extent these investments made may not bein line with the asset allocation pattern.

• A close ended Scheme comes to the end at the scheduledmaturity. On the scheduled maturity date, investors carrythe risk that the value of underlying portfolio securities onthe maturity date of the Plan(s) under the Scheme couldget impacted by unfavourable market conditions and/orcompany specific events, which could lead to lower thandesired returns.

B. REQUIREMENT OF MINIMUM INVESTORS IN THESCHEME

The individual Plan(s) under the Scheme shall have a minimumof 20 investors and no single investor shall account for morethan 25% of the corpus of the Plan(s). These conditions willbe complied with immediately after the close of the NFO itselfi.e. at the time of allotment. In case of non-fulfillment withthe condition of minimum 20 investors, the Plan(s) shall bewound up in accordance with Regulation 39 (2) (c) of SEBI(MF) Regulations automatically without any reference fromSEBI. In case of non-fulfillment with the condition of 25%holding by a single investor on the date of allotment, theapplication to the extent of exposure in excess of the stipulated25% limit would be liable to be rejected and the allotmentwould be effective only to the extent of 25% of the corpuscollected. Consequently, such exposure over 25% limits willlead to refund within 5 Business Days from the date ofclosure of the New Fund Offer.

These yields are indicative and do not indicate yields that maybe obtained in future as interest rates keep changing consequentto changes in macro economic conditions and RBI policy. Theprice and yield on various debt instruments fluctuate from timeto time depending upon the macro economic situation, inflationrate, overall liquidity position, foreign exchange scenario etc.Also, the price and yield vary according to maturity profile, creditrisk etc.

Gnerally, for instruments issued by a non-Government entity(corporate / PSU bonds), the yield is higher than the yield ona Government Security with corresponding maturity. Thedifference, known as credit spread, depends on the credit ratingof the entity.

Overseas Debt MarketThe nature and number of debt instruments available ininternational debt markets is very wide. In terms of diverseinstruments as well as liquidity, overseas debt markets offergreat depth and are extremely well developed.

Investment in international debt greatly expands the universeof top quality debt, which is no longer restricted to the limitedpapers available in the domestic debt market. The higher ratedoverseas sovereign, quasi-government and corporate debt offerlower default risk in addition to offering a high degree ofliquidity since these are traded across major internationalmarkets. Investments in rated international debt offer multiplebenefits of risk reduction, a much wider universe of top qualitydebt and also potential gains from currency movements.

Investments in international markets are most often in U.S.dollars, though the Euro, Pound Sterling and the Yen are alsomajor currencies. Though this market is geographically well-spread across global financial centres, the markets in the U.S.,European Union and London offer the most liquidity and depthof instruments.

Besides factors specific to the country / issuer, internationalbond prices are influenced to a large extent by a number ofother factors; chief among these are the international economicoutlook, changes in interest rates in major economies, tradingvolumes in overseas markets, cross currency movements amongmajor currencies, rating changes of countries / corporationsand major political changes globally.

n Investment in Securitised Debt

A securitisation transaction involves sale of receivables by theoriginator (a bank, non-banking finance company, housingfinance company, or a manufacturing/service company) to aSpecial Purpose Vehicle (SPV), typically set up in the form of atrust. Investors are issued rated Pass Through Certificates (PTCs),the proceeds of which are paid as consideration to the originator.In this manner, the originator, by selling his loan receivablesto an SPV, receives consideration from investors much beforethe maturity of the underlying loans. Investors are paid fromthe collections of the underlying loans from borrowers. Typically,the transaction is provided with a limited amount of creditenhancement (as stipulated by the rating agency for a targetrating), which provides protection to investors against defaultsby the underlying borrowers.

Generally available asset classes for securitisation in India are:

l Commercial vehicles

l Auto and two wheeler pools

l Mortgage pools (residential housing loans)

l Personal loan, credit card and other retail loans

l Corporate loans/receivables

Investment / Risk Mitigation Strategy

1. Risk profile of securitised debt vis-à-vis risk appetite ofthe Scheme(s)

The risk profile of securitised debt is generally at par with therisk profile of other debt securities at the same level of creditrating. Securitised debt offers additional income (spread) overa debt security of similar rating and maturity, which enablesthe scheme to optimize its income without taking any additionalcredit risk. Securitised debt is generally less liquid, however,investment in securitised debt is made to maintain a diversifiedportfolio of debt securities that optimizes return without increasingthe overall risk profile of the Scheme(s).

2. Policy relating to originators based on nature oforiginator, track record, NPAs, losses in earlier securitiseddebt, etc

The originator is an entity (like banks, non-banking financecompanies, corporates etc), which has initially provided theloan & is also generally responsible for servicing the loans. Theschemes will invest in securitised debt of originators with at leastinvestment grade credit rating and established track record. Adetailed evaluation of originator is done before the investmentis made in securitised debt of any originator on variousparameters given below:

l Track record

The investment in securitised debt is done based on originationand underwriting process and capabilities of the originator,overview of corporate structure, group to which they belong,experience of the company in the business & how long they havebeen in the business, financial condition of the company, creditrating, past performance of similar pools by the originator, etc.

l Willingness to pay through credit enhancement facilitiesetc.

Credit enhancement is provided by the originator, as indicatedby rating agencies, so as to adequately cover the defaults andacts as a risk mitigation measure. The size of the creditenhancement as indicated by rating agency depends on theoriginator's track record, past delinquencies, pattern of the

portfolio & characteristics of the pool vis-a-vis of the portfolio,nature of the asset class.

l Ability to pay

The quality of the origination impacts the performance of theunderlying asset & thus originators with strong systems andprocesses in place can eliminate poor quality assets. A robustrisk management system of the originator and availability of MISreports on timely basis, results in creation of strong asset portfolio.

l Business Risk Assessment

The business risk assessment of originator / underlying borroweralso includes detailed credit assessment wherein followingfactors are also considered:

- Outlook for the economy (domestic and global)

- Outlook for the industry

- Company specific factors

In addition, a detailed review and assessment of rating rationaleis done along with interactions with the company as well asthe rating agency. All investment in securitised debt is doneafter taking into account, the Critical Evaluation Parameters (forpool loan and single loan securitisation transactions) regardingthe originator / underlying issuer as mentioned below:

l Default track record/ frequent alteration of redemptionconditions / covenants

l High leverage ratios of the ultimate borrower (for single-sell downs) - both on a standalone basis as well on aconsolidated level/ group level

l Higher proportion of reschedulement of underlying assetsof the pool or loan, as the case may be

l Higher proportion of overdue assets of the pool or theunderlying loan, as the case may be

l Poor reputation in market

l Insufficient track record of servicing of the pool or the loan,as the case may be.

3. Risk mitigation strategies for investments with eachkind of originator

Investments are based on assessment of following parameters,so as to mitigate risk associated with such investment:

a. Credit quality, size and reach of the originator

b. Nature of receivables/asset category i.e. cars, constructionequipment, commercial vehicles, personal loans etc.

c. Collection process, infrastructure and follow-up mechanism

d. Quality of MIS

e. Credit cum liquidity enhancement

f. Credit appraisal norms of originator

g. Asset Quality - portfolio delinquency levels

h. Past performance of rated pools

i. Pool Characteristics - seasoning, Loan-to-value ratios,geographic diversity etc.

4. The level of diversification with respect to the underlyingassets, and risk mitigation measures for less diversifiedinvestments

Diversification of underlying assets is achieved through a)prudent mix of asset categories - i.e. cars (new, used), commercialvehicles, construction equipment, unsecured loans to individualsor small & medium enterprises b) total number of contracts ina pool c) average ticket size of loans and d) geographicaldistribution.

Risk mitigation measures for less diversified investments in poolsis accomplished through the size of credit enhancement,seasoning or loan to value ratios.

Information in the table above is based on current scenario and is subject to change depending upon the change in relatedfactors.

Notes:

A. In case of securitised debt with underlying being singleloan, the investment limit applicable to the underlyingborrower is considered.

B. Other investment will be decided on a case to case basis.

In case of asset backed pools (ABS), evaluation of the poolassets is done considering the following factors: (Refer the tableabove which illustrates the averages of parameters consideredwhile selecting the pool)

l Size of the loan

l Average original maturity of the pool

l Loan to Value Ratio

l Average seasoning of the pool

l Default rate distribution

l Geographical Distribution

l Credit enhancement facility

l Liquid facility

l Structure of the pool

5. Minimum retention period of the debt by originatorprior to securitisation

The illustrative average seasoning of the debt by originator priorto securitisation is given above in table (Refer Point 4).

Minimum retention period of the debt by originator prior tosecuritisation in the case of asset pools is in the form ofseasoning of loans to various asset classes (cars, commercialvehicles, etc.) and generally varies from one month to six monthsdepending on the nature of asset.

6. Minimum retention percentage by originator of debtsto be securitised

While minimum retention percentage by originator is notprescribed, any amount retained by the originator throughsubordination is viewed positively at the time of making investmentand generally varies from 5% to 10%.

7. The mechanism to tackle conflict of interest when themutual fund invests in securitised debt of an originatorand the originator in turn makes investments in thatparticular scheme of the fund

All proposals for investment in securitised debt are evaluatedby the credit analyst based on several parameters such as natureof underlying asset category, pool characteristics, asset quality,credit rating of the securitisation transaction, and credit cumliquidity enhancement available. Investment in securitised debtin any scheme is made by the respective fund manager in linewith the investment objective of that scheme.

8. The resources and mechanism of individual riskassessment with the AMC for monitoring investmentin securitised debt (in general)

Investment in securitised debt is monitored regularly with regardsto its performance on various parameters such as collectionefficiency, delinquencies, prepayments and utilization of creditenhancement. Information on these parameters is availablethrough monthly reports from Pool Trustees and throughinformation disseminated by the rating agencies. Monthlyperformance report is released by the credit analyst to the fundmanagement team and the fund management team periodicallyreviews the same.

E. WHAT ARE THE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?

INVESTMENT STRATEGY AND RISK CONTROLThe primary objective of the Plan(s) under the Scheme is togenerate income through investments in Debt / Money MarketInstruments and Government Securities maturing on or beforethe maturity date of the respective Plan(s). The Scheme has theflexibility to invest in the entire range of debt instruments andwould seek to minimise interest rate risk while avoiding creditrisks.The Scheme may also seek investment opportunity in theForeign Debt Securities, in accordance with guidelines stipulatedin this regard by SEBI and RBI from time to time.The Scheme would make investment in securities in the investmentuniverse based on market spreads and liquidity, so as to matchthe investment horizon with the scheme maturity. The investmentswould be based on interest rate expectations arising out ofmacroeconomic analysis. This includes analysis of inflationdata and trends in macro variables such as credit growth,liquidity, money supply growth, fiscal numbers and the globalinterest environment.Though every endeavor will be made to achieve the objectiveof the Scheme, the AMC/Sponsors/ Trustee do not guaranteethat the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved.No guaranteed returns are being offered under the Scheme.RISK CONTROLInvestments made from the corpus of the Plan(s) would be inaccordance with the investment objective of the Scheme and theprovisions of the SEBI (MF) Regulations. The AMC will strive toachieve the investment objective by way of a judicious portfoliomix comprising of debt, money market instruments andgovernment securities. Every investment opportunity would beassessed with regard to credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidityrisk.Credit Evaluation PolicyThe credit evaluation policy of the AMC entails evaluation ofcredit fundamentals of each investment opportunity. Some ofthe factors that are evaluated inter-alia may include outlookon the sector, parentage, quality of management, and overallfinancial strength of the credit. The AMC utilises ratings ofrecognised rating agencies as an input in the credit evaluationprocess. Investments in bonds and debenture are usually ininstruments that have been assigned high investment graderatings by a recognized rating agency.In line with SEBI Circular No. MFD/CIR/9/120/ 2000 datedNovember 24, 2000, the AMC may constitute committee(s) toapprove proposals for investments in unrated instruments. TheAMC Board and the Trustee shall approve the detailed parametersfor such investments. The details of such investments would becommunicated by the AMC to the Trustee in their periodicalreports. It would also be clearly mentioned in the reports, how


the parameters have been complied with. However, in case anysecurity does not fall under the parameters, the prior approvalof Board of AMC and Trustee shall be sought.

Interest Rate RiskAn interest rate scenario analysis would be performed on anon-going basis, considering the impact of the developmentson the macro-economic front and the demand and supply offunds. The Scheme would keep the maturity of its debt assetson or before the maturity/ final redemption date of the scheme.This would limit the market risk of the portfolio.Liquidity RiskSince the investors cannot redeem/ Switch units of the Plan(s)under the Scheme directly with the Mutual Fund until the finalredemption/ maturity date and the assets would also mature onor before the maturity date, the liquidity risk would be minimized.Please refer to "Suspension of Sale / Redemption of the Units",in section 'Restrictions, if any, on the right to freely retain ordispose of units being offered' on Page 42.

Derivatives Risk

The AMC has provision for using derivative instruments forportfolio balancing and hedging purposes. Interest Rate Swapswill be done with approved counter parties under pre approvedISDA agreements. Mark to Market of swaps, netting off of cashflow and default provision clauses will be provided as perstandard practice on a reciprocal basis.Interest Rate Swaps and other derivative instruments will be usedas per local (RBI and SEBI) regulatory guidelines.

Concentration Risk

The AMC will mitigate this risk by investing in sufficiently largenumber of issuers spread across the sectors so as to maintainoptimum diversification and keep issuer/sector specificconcentration risk relatively low.

Strategies for investment in DerivativesIn terms of Circular No. MFD.BC.191/07.01.279/1999-2000and MPD.BC.187/07.01.279/1999-2000 dated November 1,1999 and July 7, 1999 respectively issued by Reserve Bank ofIndia, Mutual Funds are permitted participation in Interest RateSwaps and Forward Rate Agreements. These products wereintroduced for deepening the country's money market. TheScheme may trade in these instruments for the purpose ofhedging and portfolio balancing or to undertake any otherstrategy as permitted under SEBI (MF) Regulations from time totime. SEBI has also permitted trading of interest rate derivativesthrough Stock Exchange.

Interest Rate Swaps (IRS)All swaps are financial contracts, which involve exchange (swap)of a set of payments owned by one party for another set ofpayments owned by another party, usually through anintermediary (market maker). An IRS can be defined as acontract between two parties (Counter Parties) to exchange, onparticular dates in the future, one series of cash flows, (fixedinterest) for another series of cashflows (variable or floatinginterest) in the same currency and on the same principal foran agreed period of time. The exchange of cashflows need notoccur on the same date.It may be noted that in such hedged positions (fixed v/s floatingor vice versa), both legs of the transactions have interest ratevolatility as underlying.

Basic Structure of a Swap

Assume that the Scheme has a Rs. 20 crore floating rateinvestment linked to MIBOR (Mumbai Inter Bank Offered Rate).Hence, the Scheme is currently running an interest rate risk andstands to lose if the interest rate moves down. To hedge thisinterest rate risk, the Scheme can enter into a 6 month MIBORswap. Through this swap, the Scheme will receive a fixedpredetermined rate (assume 12%) and pays the "benchmarkrate" (MIBOR), which is fixed by the National Stock Exchangeof India limited (NSE) or any other agency such as Reuters. Thisswap would effectively lock-in the rate or 12% for the next 6months, eliminating the daily interest rate risk.

This is usually routed through an intermediary who runs a bookand matches deals between various counterparties.

The steps will be as follows -

l Assuming the swap is for Rs. 20 crore May 1, 2017 toNovember 1, 2017. The Scheme is a fixed rate receiver at12% and the counterparty is a floating rate receiver at theovernight rate on a compounded basis (say NSE MIBOR).

l On May 1, 2017 the Scheme and the counterparty willexchange only a contract of having entered this swap. Thisdocumentation would be as per International Swap DealersAssociation (ISDA).

l On a daily basis, the benchmark rate fixed by NSE will betracked by them.

l On November 1, 2017 they will calculate the following-

l The Scheme is entitled to receive interest on Rs. 20crore at 12% for 184 days i.e. Rs. 1.21 crore, (thisamount is known at the time the swap was concluded)and will pay the compounded benchmark rate.

l The counterparty is entitled to receive dailycompounded call rate for 184 days & pay 12% fixed.

l On November 1, 2017, if the total interest on the dailyovernight compounded benchmark rate is higher than Rs.1.21 crore, the Scheme will pay the difference to thecounterparty. If the daily compounded benchmark rate islower, then the counterparty will pay the Scheme the difference.

l Effectively the Scheme earns interest at the rate of 12% p.a.for six months without lending money for 6 months fixed,while the counterparty pays interest @ 12% p.a. for 6 monthson Rs. 20 crore, without borrowing for 6 months fixed.

The above example illustrates the benefits and risks of usingderivatives for hedging and optimizing the investment portfolio.Swaps have their own drawbacks like credit risk, settlementrisk. However, these risks are substantially reduced as theamount involved is interest streams and not principal.

Forward Rate Agreement (FRA)AA FRA is an agreement between two counter parties to payor to receive the difference between an agreed fixed rate (theFRA rate) and the interest rate prevailing on a stipulated futuredate, based on a notional amount, for an agreed period. Inshort, in a FRA, interest rate is fixed now for a future period.The special feature of FRAs is that the only payment is thedifference between the FRA rate and the Reference rate andhence are single settlement contracts. As in the case of IRS,notional amounts are not exchanged.

Assume that on October 1, 2017, the 30 day commercial paper(CP) rate is 7.75% and the Scheme has an investment in a CPof face value Rs. 25 crores, which is going to mature on October30, 2017. If the interest rates are likely to remain stable ordecline after October 30, 2017, and if the fund manager, whowants to re-deploy the maturity proceeds for 1 more month,does not want to take the risk of interest rates going down, hecan then enter into a following forward rate agreement (FRA)say as on October 30, 2017:

He can receive 1 X 2 FRA on October 30, 2017 at 7.75% (FRArate for 1 months lending in 2 months time) on the notionalamount of Rs. 25 crores, with a reference rate of 30 day CPbenchmark. If the CP benchmark on the settlement date i.e.October 30, 2017 falls to 7.50%, then the Scheme receives thedifference 7.75 - 7.50 i.e. 25 basis points on the notionalamount Rs. 25 crores for 1 month. The maturity proceeds arethen reinvested at say 7.50% (close to the benchmark). Thescheme, however, would have locked in the rate prevailing onOctober 30, 2017 (7.75%) as it would have received 25 basispoints more as settlement amount from FRA. Thus the fundmanager can use FRA to mitigate the reinvestment risk.In this example, if the rates move up by 25 basis points to 8%on the settlement date (October 30, 2017), the Scheme loses25 basis points but since the reinvestment will then happen at8%, effective returns for the Scheme is unchanged at 7.75%,which is the prevailing rate on October 30, 2017.

Interest Rate Futures (IRFs):

An Interest Rate Futures contract is "an agreement to buy or sella debt instrument at a specified future date at a price that isfixed today." The underlying security for Interest Rate Futures iseither Government Bond or T-Bill. Currently, exchange traded


Interest Rate Futures traded on exchange are standardizedcontracts based on 10-Year Government of India Security and91-day Government of India Treasury Bill. IRFs contracts arecash settled.

Holders of the fixed income securities are exposed to the riskof rising interest rates, which in turn results in the reduction inthe value of their portfolio. So in order to protect against a fallin the value of their portfolio due to falling bond prices, theycan take short position in IRF contracts.

Example:Date: 15/10/2017

Spot price of GOI Security: Rs 105.05

May Futures price of IRF Contract: Rs 105.12

On 15/10/2017 ABC bought 2000 GOI securities from spotmarket at Rs 105.05. He anticipates that the interest rate willrise in near future. Therefore to hedge the exposure in underlyingmarket he may sell October 2017 Interest RateFutures contracts at Rs 105.12

On 30/10/2017 due to increase in interest rate: Spot price ofGOI Security: Rs 104.24 Futures Price of IRF Contract: Rs 104.28

Loss in underlying market will be (104.24 - 105.05)*2000 =Rs 1,620

Profit in the Futures market will be (104.28 - 105.12)*2000 =Rs 1,680.Risk Factors of SWAP/ Forward Rate Agreement/ InterestRate Futuresl Credit Risk: This is the risk of defaults by the counterparty.

This is usually negligible, as there is no exchange ofprincipal amounts in a derivative transaction.

l Market Risk: Market movements may adversely affect thepricing and settlement of derivatives.

l Liquidity Risk: The risk that a derivative cannot be soldor purchased quickly enough at a fair price, due to lackof liquidity in the market.

Imperfect Hedging using IRF

IRF can be taken at portfolio level to reduce the interest raterisk of the portfolio or part of the portfolio (including one ormore securities). However, in case the IRF used for hedging theinterest rate risk has different underlying security(s) than theexisting position being hedged, it would result in imperfecthedging i.e. basis risk. In order to reduce the basis risk for theportfolio hedging strategy, the correlation between the portfolioor part of the portfolio (excluding the hedged portions, if any)and the IRF would be atleast 0.9 at the time of initiation ofhedge. The correlation should be calculated for a period of last90 days. Additionally, Imperfect hedging using IRFs would berestricted upto maximum of 20% of the net assets of the scheme.Example:

Date: 15/06/2017

Net Assets of the Scheme: Rs. 100 cr

Modified Duration of the Scheme: 4.75 yearsAugust 2017 Future Price of IRF contract of 6.79 GOI 2027:103.24

Modified Duration of 6.79 GOI 2027: 7.13 years

Correlation between IRF and Portfolio during last 90 days: 0.95

On 15/06/2017, the fund manager anticipates that the interestrates will rise in near future. Therefore, to hedge the exposuresof the portfolio he sells 19,00,000 IRF contracts of August 20176.79 GOI 2027 at 103.24. Thus, the value of Futures contractis Rs. 19.62 cr, which is less than 20% of Scheme value.On 15/07/2017, due to interest rate increase by 5 basis points,the values of securities in the portfolio reduced to Rs. 99.76cr and the price of IRF contract for August 2017 6.79 GOI 2027reduced to Rs. 102.88. This resulted in loss in the value of thesecurities of Rs. 0.24 cr (Rs. 100 cr - Rs. 99.76 cr) and profitin the futures position of Rs. 0.07 cr {(103.24-102.88)*19,00,000}

Given that there was imperfect correlation between portfolio andthe IRF (i.e. basis risk) as well as cap on the maximum portfoliohedging allowed as per extant regulation, the loss in the value

of portfolio was not completely matched by the gain from theIRF contract. Nevertheless, the fund manager was able to protectthe value of the portfolio, to an extent, using the IRF contract.The loss on proportionate basis (i.e. ~20% of portfolio) wouldbe only Rs. 0.05 cr as against gain of Rs. 0.07 cr from IRF.

Risk Factors associated with imperfect hedging usingIRF:l Basis Risk: The imperfect correlation between the prices of

securities in the portfolio and the IRF contract used to hedgepart of the portfolio leads to basis risk. Thus, the loss onthe portfolio may not exactly match the gain from the hedgeposition entered using the IRF.

l Credit Risk: This is the risk of defaults by the counterparty.

This is usually negligible, as there is no exchange ofprincipal amounts in a derivative transaction.

l Market Risk: Market movements may adversely affect thepricing and settlement of derivatives.

l Liquidity Risk: The risk that a derivative cannot be soldor purchased quickly enough at a fair price, due to lackof liquidity in the market.
